Human-Social Science: Geography, Environmental Science & Disaster Management

Portable devices used to assess environmental impact near industrial sites.
The Journal of Human-Social Science: Geography, Environmental Science & Disaster Management is dedicated to publishing high-quality, peer-reviewed research that explores the dynamic relationships between human societies, natural environments, and the risks and responses associated with environmental and geophysical hazards. The journal provides a multidisciplinary platform for theoretical, empirical, and applied studies addressing critical global and regional challenges.

Research Areas

The journal serves geographers, environmental scientists, disaster risk professionals, policymakers, and researchers engaged in analyzing and addressing environmental and societal interactions. Contributions that bridge scientific research and practical application, especially those with cross-sectoral or community-level impact, are particularly welcomed.
